Eagles proposed taking home Thanksgiving games from Dallas and Detroit

[dbldwn711]

Has anyone said the Eagles want a Thanksgiving game?

If the Eagles do get a Thanksgiving Day game the traditional turkey leg eaten after the game will be replaced with horse shit.

The players are gonna “eat it up”!

Fly Eagles Fly

I too feel this is a good change, most years the Lions suck and of late the Cowgirls aren't much better I would accept this change. How hard is to rotate teams?

I think this is overdue frankly. Detroit has never won a Super Bowl and Dallas hasn't won since 1996.

Did you just say that??? And according to "some" Eagles fans on here (yeah I'm looking at my buddy PE here) it's the rest of us that changed once you finally won one

If you think about it, they are the last team to throw a TD in the Super Bowl.
They are the last team not to roll over and let the League hand another trophy to the old guy that has to pay for threesomes with Asian chicks........

I can see this happening, the movement is already happening, "Philadelphia Eagles = America's Team!"

So...you say that as if it's a bad thing...
My only issue is that apparently one of the "girls" was 58 years old. WTF??? If you are going to do it, do it right!!!

OMG one was a Cougar?

To Kraft she wasn't a Cougar. She's young enough to be his daughter.

The reason is that back in the day when the games were established, all the other teams ran away screaming leaving Dallas and Detroit as the only 2 teams willing to play on Thanksgiving. They have upheld that tradition ever since. Consistently over the years, other teams, seeing how popular the games have become have gone "whoops, we now want it" and the league has politely told them to fuck off.

If that is the reason, then keep it as is.

 

[mannyz]

Because... the Eagles had never won fuck all until a couple seasons ago... and NOW you just think yer shit don't stink.

That said, just ditch the tradition all together and cycle different teams in based on who is projected to be good.

That is such a fu@king stupid response.

 

[mannyz]

So not only are Eagles fans a bunch of Whinny Bitches so is their owner.

Most be a side effect of eating horseshit.

What the hell is a whinny b? It is spelled whiny. If you are going to troll a group of people, at least know how to spell the insult.

58? She was jailbait compared to Kraft.

What is wrong with this proposal?

I think it is amazing.

The freaking Lions shouldn't even be on Thanksgiving if we're being honest

I think this is overdue frankly. Detroit has never won a Super Bowl and Dallas hasn't won since 1996. Why should we have to watch bad football on our holiday? Do we really need to watch Matt Stafford throw for four picks against the Bears? No, sir. Get some real teams in there.

The league confirmed today that the Eagles submitted a proposal for a change in the league resolutions that would have seen the Lions and Cowboys continue to play on Thanksgiving each year, but to play on the road every other year.

The text of the Eagles’ proposal read, “to continue the annual tradition of having Dallas and Detroit play on Thanksgiving, provided that one of those clubs host a home game with the other club playing away, and alternating home and away games each subsequent season.”


Eagles proposed change to Detroit-Dallas Thanksgiving tradition

Eagle fans really need to get over themselves. You're a ONE and Done at this point. GTFO of here with getting this game. Chances are by November Wince is sidelined anyway. Who watches the Eagles beside Eagle fans?

And the last ones to celebrate by eating horse shit AND cheering for the guy to eat horse shit.

Congrats!

I hope they NEVER get over themselves. They are best entertainment on this board.

@mannyz is triggered already in a troll thread started by a fellow Eagles fan!!!

Are you fucking kidding me?!?! Haha. That’s comedy gold.

 

[Nosferatu]

How about the losing teams from the conference championship games the year before get those two turkey day games?

 

[NWPATSFAN]

It's not like the Eagles owner tried to say Philly should have the game, which is how some of you are reacting. All he said was that these teams should not be able to have it as a HOME game every year. That is a clear advantage, as they get to have a long homestand through the holiday while others have to travel.

Personally, I think it should be a flex game of sorts--the league should decide it at the start of the season. I don't think it can be in the middle because obviously people have to make Thanksgiving plans. But at the start of the year, you can make a reasonable guess that, say, Rams and Patriots might be good home teams, etc.

It's one of their 8 home games. Not like they're getting an extra game.
Half of you whinning are the same idiots who complain about Thursday night games.

Translation:

Eagles still jealous of Dallas

Sorry Double you're wrong.
They're jealous of anyone with a winning tradition.

Okay, guy.

Congrats!

Your right we should all run out to a "rub and a tug" to celebrate!
